REShow: Jason Derulo - Hour 3 (8-8-2023)

This is the Rich Eisen Show. By the way, you know, the realignment with the Big Ten, I don't think folks realize... Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles.

That the Big Ten is going to a one big mosh pit of a standings like the Big Twelve. Earlier on the show, Prime Video TNF analyst Andrew Whitworth, host of Peacock's Pro Football Talk, Mike Florio. Coming up, recording artist Jason Derulo, plus latest news and more. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Our number three of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air.

One in studio gets down, another one in. Andrew Whitworth leaves and I have a friendship bracelet from him that he made at two in the morning at his hotel provided by the Bezos company. With Fitzpatrick?

With Ryan Fitzpatrick and him. I mean, I think together they have as many children as Philip Rivers and they put together the little arts and crafts. Because I guess each hotel that is being filled up by either Amazon Prime analysts and producers for their annual meeting prior to the season. Or folks who are coming to Los Angeles to see Taylor Swift, she is in night five of a six show week at SoFi Stadium. Tonight, Susie and Zan went last night. Are you going tonight?

I am not. I took Cooper to Angels and Giants last night. Nice. But at any rate, Jason Derulo is going to be here in studio.

15 Rules for Living Your Dream is what he's given you in his new book, Sing Your Name Out Loud. I can't wait to ask him, what's the longest concert he's played? Right? Because again, Susie said, on at 8.20 last night, off at 11.50ish, 55. Out. And there's some opening acts too, I think?

Yes. But I mean, honestly, if the Rams kick off at 8.20, which they'll never do, it'll always be 5.20. You know, probably she went on longer than the Rams do, usually in that stadium with the Chargers, obviously.

My bad. Also, it feels like if you haven't gone or don't plan to attend this concert, you're the biggest loser on earth. It's like a religious experience for everyone. It's not easy to get tickets. The tickets are insane. I feel like I've been to the concert enough times seeing everyone's Instagram stories. You've got to pull strings to get to this thing.

As someone who was offered a ticket and turned it down, I do not feel like a loser. I don't know. Speaking of which, Terzo and I is on the program.

All rise. Terzo and Perfect Timing. Terzo, did you end up going to see Taylor Swift or what? No, Rich, I actually got the ticket donated. It ended up being pretty awesome. Good for you. But it sounds like, TJ, we could have had friendship bracelets, dude.

It's the only thing I missed out on, Terzo. Honestly, you should see this. It's very nicely done.

It's done literally by a man pushing 40 at 2 in the morning. But other than that... You end the view at 2 in the morning while making bracelets. I did think of that, saying I'm going on the Rich Eisen Show in the morning. Maybe I bring Rich a friendship bracelet, so eat your heart out, Glaze. You probably don't have one of these from Whit. So, what's on your mind, Terzo?

Oh, that's absolutely awesome. So, just kind of going back to what you were talking about in hour one with the Niners and kind of how the fans at times kind of turn on how we perceive Trey Lance. I was never a big fan of that pick.

And I think a lot of the angst that kind of comes with that is giving up all those draft picks. But I also did pick him to start the season over Purdy because I just didn't think Purdy was going to be healthy enough yet, just given that injury. And so, as a diehard Niner fan, I just want to see a healthy team and see all three of those guys compete.

And whatever happens, happens. But I just want to have Trey Lance have an opportunity. But if he can't get onto the field, it's what it is. No, and honestly, it has to be, and thanks to the call, Terzo.

I greatly appreciate it. One of our long-time listeners and long-time callers and diehard Niner fans. Look, I don't know how this is going to play out for Trey Lance. All it looks like is he is not getting the opportunity that's normally afforded a third overall pick made by a team that traded a ton of draft capital to go and get him. Normally, when a team moves all the way up and uses an insane amount of draft capital for someone and chooses a quarterback, third overall, that kid is playing come heck or high water. And when he got drafted, he needed to have the time. He needed to get the start right away, but the team had the luxury of having Jimmy Garoppolo there. And if you recall, when his career began, just to reiterate, he was kind of like the red zone quarterback. In his rookie season, he was the first Niners quarterback to throw a touchdown pass that season because he was brought in when they got in the red zone. And then as the season progressed, it was obvious this team was ready to win now and Garoppolo was the guy.

Lance got a little bit nicked up. Remember, he got a start because Garoppolo couldn't start and then he got nicked up again. And as the season goes along and the team is ready to win a Super Bowl and you have a quarterback like Garoppolo who's taken you to one before, you ride him. And they rode him all the way to the NFC Championship game, after which he said goodbye to everyone. Lance then was going to get another opportunity and got that opportunity and didn't look all that great in a monsoon in Chicago.

And then the next week, see ya. Season ending injury. Out comes Garoppolo, who again was supposedly done and finished.

And this is a guy who didn't play much in Lance in his final year in college. And all you need to do is to see him get his opportunity and he couldn't stay healthy for it last year. And you have to wonder, that was the window because you got somebody in Brock Purdy who showed last year he has what it takes. And so he's on a contract given to the last player in the draft is exactly the dream scenario. You've got somebody who can win a Super Bowl, it looks, on a contract that's not only a rookie contract and not only a seventh round contract, it's the last player in the draft contract. That's the win. You've got three more years of contractual control on this guy.

Of course you're going to run it when you've got to pay Bosa and everyone else on that team. And again, that's the thing, I understand that there are people, and we, Chris, TJ, DJ Mikey D is in these nuts, when we saw him at the Super Bowl this year, he was dynamite. He was great.

And you remember he made an impression on us and everyone else when he said, I'm not expecting anything. I haven't earned anything. I'm going to go earn it.

I'm going to go battle for it. I loved Purdy. I think it was terrific. That video went viral because fans of the Niners appreciated it. And I think fans of football appreciated his attitude towards all of this. But you get the sense this isn't going to be his spot unless the crazy things happen, like Purdy doesn't go because he's hurt and Sam Darnold is there. And again, nobody's been able to answer the question for me. Darnold arrived as Purdy Insurance or Lance Insurance.

I think we can know the answer. It's Purdy Insurance. And again, I understand that fans might also push back from San Francisco saying give the kid a chance. I'm not giving him less of a chance. He was our first guest of Super Bowl week after he played hardly a lick in the previous season. I'm not denying him a chance.

I'm just reading the writing on the wall. And I understand that fans would push back to say this isn't like before. The like before was when the Niners changed coaches every year. This is a coach and a general manager that has built a team that can insert somebody like Brock Purdy and win with him. So they're going to.

So I'm not denying him anything, and I hope he does get a chance. But this is a team that's trading nobody. They went down to they went again, they went down to Christian McCaffrey and then Brock Purdy with one arm after Josh Johnson. OK, they were literally on quarterback five, who was. McCaffrey and then quarterback six, who was quarterback three, but with just one arm.

It's not good. Lance Garoppolo, Purdy, Josh Johnson, McCaffrey and then one on Brock Purdy. That was their quarterback. Depth chart last year.

So I think the writings on the wall is what it looks like right now, because unless there is some injuries over the next couple of weeks, heaven forbid in preseason, that could completely change. Because, again, if I went on some 49er quarterback depth chart soliloquy before their first preseason game last year, I'd have been like, well, Garoppolo is going to wind up on Seattle. They got to release him and Seattle's ready to pounce because they're not going to the season with Geno Smith, who turned out to be the comeback player of the year. Not coming back from injury, but just the bench. Lack of opportunities, which is what it appears Trey Lance currently has. Unfortunately, to deal with.

Trey Lance is a new Geno. Lack of opportunities. Hopefully he will get him. Eight four four two oh four rich number to dial.

One other thing I want to hit before Jason Derulo comes out here. Crazy season. Eric Bienemie, as we all know, a longtime assistant with the Chiefs, and we're all wondering, why isn't this guy getting a head coaching job? And because normally a guy who's a coordinator or integral in the offensive install. Again, Andy Reid always has that menu in front of him, but an integral member of the offensive install of a championship team normally gets an opportunity to head coaching jobs. And again. The Washington football team slash commanders gave him an opportunity to be an offensive coordinator, a play caller, a man in charge, and the thing that I was telling everybody.

When he got this gig is you best not be thin skinned or sensitive around this man. Eric Bienemie tells you what time it is. Every second of the day. I will never forget.

I bring it up all the time, so I'll repeat myself. Adrian Peterson. Peterson. Soon to go in the Hall of Fame. Oh yeah. Has he formally retired yet?

Good question. Adrian Peterson. When he was on the Minnesota Vikings and being the dominant guy that we all know him to be or have been, we went behind the scenes.

And Eric Bienemie was a running backs coach, lighting him up. And we saw that in the feature. I turned to Marshall Faulk. I looked at him and he knows because we would frequently communicate without saying words. He knew what I was thinking. And he just started laughing and nodding his head. And I'm like, is that like, what's up with that? And he goes, that's Bienemie.

He will light you up. That's what he does. And apparently that's what he's doing with Washington commander players. Ron Rivera saying today that players have come up to him and basically said essentially. Talk to him.

WTF bro. Can you talk to a coach here? Why is this guy screaming at me? And Ron Rivera, I mean, this is one of the top stacked items on every website right now. That Rivera, Ron Rivera is saying today that players are quote unquote concerned by Eric Bienemie's intensity. And it's just like, well, I guess they didn't talk to people around the league. You know, when he came in and Rivera said, I have a number of guys come to me and I said, Hey, just go talk to him. I said, understand what he's trying to get across to you as they go and they talk and they listen to him. It's been enlightening for a lot of these guys. I mean, it's a whole different approach and lightning is, you know, sometimes when you take a.

You know, a lighthouse light and just shine it on a piece of paper that you need to see something like that will burn a hole and he's burning holes. And Eric Bienemie was asked about this today. And the third person alert, oh, geez, is on. I'm always going to be loud and I'm always going to be vocal.

I'm always going to demand from our leaders. But on top of that, I'm watching everything. OK, body language, how we address in the huddle, how we're getting up to the line of scrimmage, how we're presenting ourselves. Those things are important because you've got to send a message to the defense. And so I want our guys to clearly understand that we're not taking anything for granted. So when it's all said and done with, do I spend time with players?

Yes. You guys have been here. You see me pull players on to the side and have long discussions with them just so we are always on the same page. So Eric Bienemie is is who he is. OK, Eric Bienemie knows how to adapt and adjust. Eric Bienemie is a tough, hard nosed coach, but also understand I'm going to be the biggest and harshest critic.

But I'm also the number one fan because I got their back and I'm going to support them at all time. So we'll see if it works again. 21st century individuals don't take. To that sort of. Hard edge coaching. Man, my homes can. Also, you should leave it at that. You got the best player in the NFL who was able to deal with it and they won.

So maybe you should go if my homes could take it. They became champions. Well, Andy Reid was also the one who sat next to him sitting on top of the Gatorade jug while my homes went back to the bench when he was a young kid. I'm sure Bienemie was in his ear, but I'm sure Andy Reid's like, I got this.

Rivera is a defensive guy. He's handing it off to Bienemie. And the rest of the offensive staff with Sam Howell. And as you know, it's Sam Howell. If this is a coach that puts your hair on fire, there's a lot of it for Sam.

It's like kindling on top. Sam actually cut his hair. I just saw a picture. Did he really?

Yeah, it's a little. Now we got to update and we got to update. Then they got it.

They got to go to the NFL with their official headshots and get a new one. We got to get a new one on the side. I saw it. OK, let's go. Let's go. All right.

I think we got to update it. I think Washington's going to be on the clock soon. See, I it's this is why you're perfect for overreaction Monday.

I mean, you do, dude. McLaurin and the rest of the team know what they have a ton of weapons. And this is a coordinator who knows how to employ. The question is, can he do the play calling in the middle? Like Reid did much of the play calling. It's I think that's an obvious development here. And the commanders are the ones who gave giving Eric the enemy this shot. And he clearly is who he is. And we will see if this young quarterback will take to it.

Because it is a baptism and there is a fire and he's bringing the fire. And here we go. And this is going to be a full on conversation for Ron and every single one of them if they do not perform well early on in the season or midway through.

And they have a decisively hands down winnable game in the mind's eye of so many. Football fans, I guarantee you, again, this is something that let's just say is a dicey thing for me to discuss on NFL Network, even though rules have changed a little bit. I'll discuss it here. You take a look at the week one schedule.

What's the name of that show that Jeff Probst hosted for all those years? Let's just say, OK, and what do you do when you go swimming in somebody's backyard? You jump in a pool. OK, let's just say you put those two things together.

Yes, sir. And you have to choose a team that you believe is going to win. Now you're speaking my language in week one. Week one. Tell me outside of the Ravens at home against Houston. That's going to be a 90 percent pick. Tell me Ravens at home against Houston.

Outside of that, you want to get cute. What are you looking at? Minnesota home against Tampa.

What else are you looking at? Well, you're looking at Washington home against Arizona. Bingo. McCoy situation. Bingo was his name-o. And so I'm saying that's a week one where everybody, certainly in the mid-Atlantic, the new owner Magic Johnson will be there.

OK. And that's a that's a dub. They struggle putting points on the board. It's already going to be on and cracking before they go visit Denver, home for Buffalo at Philadelphia. They best go 1-0. That's all I'm saying.

And again, these are the way things get lids get on a boiling pot. But to sit here and say they're on the clock, that's I will not say that. Let's see what Eric BNME does. He is clearly one of the guys who isn't touchy feely. He's old school.

And Rivera has brought him in and given him an opportunity with a heck of a car, although driven by a first time driver. So. Eight four four two or four rich number to dial. Jason Derulo is here, everybody. Let's go. All right. Let's talk about music. And then, of course, getting some help from him if you need some.

Fifteen rules for living your dream. Thrilled to have here before the radio audience returns. First of two times I introduced this man, Jason Derulo.

Good to see you, Jason. How are you? Oh, fantastic. Fantastic, man. How you doing? We're thrilled to have you here.

We were all talking like, OK, Jason Derulo's come here. I'll be straight up. The only people more excited than us might be my kids.

Seriously getting some dad points today. I love it. I love it. No question about that. I got a 15, a 12 and a 10 and and they listen to your music all the time.

Oh, that's a beautiful thing, man. Please tell them I said hello. I will do that.

I will do that. Boy, I got points now for sure. So how did you so you're from Miami, right?

Is that where you're from? OK, so who is your your idols growing up? Yeah, I was I was an arts kid, but the thing that got me into music in the first place was Michael Jackson.

I saw Michael Jackson on TV for the first time and I was like, that's what I want to do. You know, so I was four years old and like literally never looked back, started writing songs at eight years old. And then I got my first writing placement when I was 16. And then I started to to write in the music industry and built a name, you know, writing being a ghostwriter in the industry.

Right. And then then I got my chance. You know, in 2009, I released my first single.

Well, before you get deeper into that. So you were an eight year old writing music. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. There was this girl in my class that I liked and I was like, I ain't got no money, but I'm a giver. So I was like, let me write her a song because it was free.

Yes. But I never ended up singing for her. But it started the journey. So it was the it was puppy love is what you're saying. That was. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. She sat right in front of right in front of me. It was Amy. And it was.

Yeah, it was definitely a puppy. Does Amy know this? She does now. On behalf of everybody who loves Jason Derulo's music. Thank you, Amy.

Appreciate that. Back here on the Rich Eisen Show radio network with the author, if I may call him that, of Sing Your Name Out Loud. Hold it up one more. There it is. Fifteen rules for living your dream. The great Jason Derulo here on the Rich Eisen Show. So you knew when you were a kid and again, that's what's great about this book, as you talk about your inspiration and your upbringing and how you became the megastar that you are right now, that you knew early on that music and singing and recording is what you wanted to do.

That's what that's basically. I mean, I was I was lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do very early. I mean, obviously, the more time you have, I mean, the better chances you have, obviously. Right. But it's never too late. And that's why I really wanted to write this book, because I mean, there's a lot of dreamers out there that are young and that are giving up their dreams for, you know, grad school or what they think like the norm is and that they have to do. Right. And I feel like, you know, everybody should go after what their passion is, because when you're able to do what you love to do.

And you guys know this, right? When you're able to wake up in the morning and look forward to what you do, it's not as hard to work hard. You know, you get to put more hours in and it's not as painful. You know, there's also, you know, a lot of older dreamers out there that I feel like it's too late. So I was like, what if I wrote some sort of handbook for those people, you know, who just don't know how to start? Sometimes starting is the hardest thing in the world.

It's just like, today's the day I'm about to roll up my sleeves. Damn. But what do I do first? You know, I mean, if I had some sort of a handbook when I was a kid, I would I would have bumped my head a lot less times, you know. So that was the reason. Yeah.

And number one is it's a perfect first rule. Take risks. I mean, and because I get a lot, Jason, from people asking me how I got started to be able to sit in front of a microphone and behind a desk. And, you know, obviously there's a lot of hard work, but I had the same thing, too. It's just like, how am I going to do it? And so many people get caught up on how they're going to eventually find the path as opposed to just getting started on it. And I know that sounds easy, but the first thing is to just realize, you know, who's stopping you? Yeah, that's right.

Other than potentially yourself, right? I mean, like, it's the truth. It's a fact. So the first time you tried it again, you said you were just writing as an as an eight year old. Yeah. When was the first time you, like, said, you screw this. I'm really going to start singing.

I'm going to figure this thing out. Like, do you recall when that moment was for you, Jason? Yeah, I was really young, man. I really was. And the fact that I knew what my path was, I think that was that was the first step.

The other big thing for me was speaking things into existence. So my mother, she a godly Christian woman. Yes. She always used to tell us.

Be careful of what you say, you know, that the power of the tongue is really, really powerful. Yes. So she would say things like this desert is to live for as opposed to this desert is to die for, you know. So I caught on to that.

Right. And I started to speak things on to my life and I so much so that I started to believe them myself. You know, so like it was not like my dream one day is to be a star. It was like, oh, I'm going to I'm going to make music. The world is going to sing my song.

And I think once you start speaking to the trillion cells in your body, your body starts to listen and you start morphing into the person that you want to become. Two things you just said there. First one, you guys know him just as well as I do.

Deion Sanders is another Florida individual on the west coast of Florida, not south. He says all the time, I love you to life. I love that guy. I mean, he says that all the time. He never says I love I love him to death. He said honestly, he says that all the time. Yeah. And so I need life.

And he says that absolutely all the time. And then so when when was the what was your big break? The moment where, OK, you knew like this is either lightning is struck, your lottery ticket's been punched. Was there a moment for you?

There's many moments. OK, I've had a lot of big breaks in my life. I think the first big break was when I got my first writing placement because that was like, oh, you can like really do this, you know. And then my next one was when I got a pub deal in Los Angeles and I got a record deal. That was like my next big break. I was 18 years old. I moved from Miami, Florida, moved to L.A., you know, moved my whole life out here. It was, you know, a really crazy time in my life because, you know, I got forty thousand dollars and I thought I was rich at that point. I got a condo that was way too expensive for me, but I was like, I am going to make sure that I make the money so I could pay for this condo. My mom is like, what are you doing?

I can't afford this. I'm like, ma, exactly. She's like, what?

Yeah. So so the fact in the back of my mind, I was like, I know I got to work hard so I can pay for this thing. So that was my next big break. In 2009, I released my first single, which was a song that I actually wrote for Sean Kingston, Call What You Say. And his label turned the song down. So we were like, oh, well, this could be my first single. And then we put it out in 2009 and it became the biggest song in the world. And then that was my next big break. There you have it.

So I love that story. So you were always about the lifestyle is basically what you're saying. I mean, I mean, I mean, it wasn't it wasn't that crazy. I mean, it was at that point, it was only like thirty five hundred a month.

But you only have forty thousand in your pocket. I know one of your mom is saying that to you. But you also had some confidence in your life.

There'll be more where that comes from because I, I feel fully confident. And so Jason Derulo here on The Rich Eisen Show, having been fortunate to do what I've done for a while, virtually every athlete wants to do what you do and many people who do what you do wants to play sports in any way, shape or form. You said early on that you you were an arts kid growing up. Did you ever try to do sports or you just said, you know, I was pretty serious about basketball, man. I in high school, I went to a very, very competitive high school, Dillard High School in Miami, Florida, which is ranked in football, ranked in basketball. We were the number 14 basketball team in the country.

So it was a really tough team to make. And then when I made it, you know, I just really spent all of my time and energy into basketball. And then I became one of the better players on the team. Point guard, shooting guard?

Where were you? I was shooting guard. OK. And then I was like, what am I doing? Like, like, I've got to choose one. I can't spend, you know, half my time playing basketball and half my time on music.

I have to pick a route because it's really hard to be great at two things, you know. So I, I put basketball aside and I was like, I'm going to go full force with music. And my coach was like, I thought you were going to be the one to make it and actually make it out of here.

Really? And he was like, it's because of your work ethic is because like you like me. It was like I always was the first one there. I was the last one to leave. I came first in like every, every, every like long distance thing that we did. So I was never the highest jumper. I was never the fastest on the team, but I was always the hardest worker.

And I think those are the kinds of people that always make it. What's your best night on the hardwood then? What's my best night on the hardwood for Jason Derulo? Come on, give me a stat line. Yeah. Fourteen, fourteen points, three assists.

OK. Two rebounds was my, my like, OK, my best night. OK, so I think you chose the right profession. You know what I'm saying? You know, I mean, I thought you'd be like, hey, we had Tim McGraw here two weeks ago, you know, and he's like, oh, 50. By the way, I didn't even get the question out of my mouth.

It goes 54 points. Damn. And he said he had the flu. Like, I'm like, like Jordan, you had the flu like Jordan.

Yeah, you were in here. Yeah, I know. And no three pointers back then. Three pointers back then either. You had no threes.

There's no three point line. That's insane. A, you know, and he was five nine. He might have not chose the right. But you chose the right profession.

Yes, I think. So how many how many athletes must come up to you and and you got one that's come up to you that loves your music, that you loved meeting? Oh, my goodness. You got the chance to meet a couple of my favorite. I mean, one, I got to spend quite a bit of time with Kobe in China, which was, you know, amazing for me because, you know, I grew up watching Kobe.

That was like my my time. Right. Of course. And somebody that I really looked up to. So I got to spend some real time with him in China when, you know, we're doing like all the the World Cup things with basketball.

Right. But also Michael had me come down to this 23 event that he was putting on. And we performed and he comes up to me. He's like, Jason, my favorite song in the world is Cheyenne.

And Cheyenne is not one of my big hits or anything. It's an album track that not very many people would know about. And I just thought that was so cool because it's not like he came up to me. It was like, I love Talk Dirty or I love it, girl. I love like, you know, one of these big songs.

He was like, he picked one of the album because I was like, this is a real moment. This is Michael Jordan. You know, I know what you're saying.

That's pretty damn cool. Yeah. So just returning to Kobe. Did you because again, a book like this is exactly the sort of stuff he would tell you to do.

Yeah. You know, was there any Mamba mentality that he imparted to you or any moments there in China when you got a chance to chill with him, that you gleaned from him and anything like that? I got the drunkest that I've ever been with Kobe Bryant. And that's one of my my greatest highlights of my life because I was the drunkest because he doesn't have to do anything.

So we sit in there chopping it up. I'm having dinner like we would. And then after every drink that he takes, he hits my glass like like really like like aggressively bow.

And then my glass is kind of like shakes and like moves towards me and I'm just like, wow. You know, we're both Burgos. We're both very competitive. This was my night to show Kobe how to do it. I'm the rock star here. We played basketball, but I do this.

This is the word that I'm telling you. He was like, he was like, I put Shaq to shame in the back of my mind. I'm like, well, damn Shaq is a big guy. You're drinking Shaq under the table.

That's pretty serious. But I'm not I'm not showing that on my face at all. I'm like, OK, of course.

I'm a rock star. This is what we do. We drink. So I'm hitting his glass back, you know, but it keeps going and going and going. And after like I'm 16 shots in, the rest of the night became a blur.

And all I remember is riding home and having to stop the vehicle like five times on the way back to the hotel because I had to throw up on the side of the road. But that's the mamba mentality. Blackout mamba. Yeah.

Blackout mamba. How about that? You got he had a win by any means necessary.

I mean, I wouldn't mean the guy is known for putting up a multitude of shots. I would have out of counseled you against that. Had I been there. What a story. I mean, what a story, man. What a life that you were you're living. And it's so blessed. So what is next for you?

Like, what do you what do you want to do here? Obviously, you've accomplished so much. You now got a book, which is this is the ultimate.

They can't take it away from you like this is on the shelf forever. So congrats on that. Thank you very much. What's next for you, Jason Derulo? So I've been doing a lot in the business world. I'm really excited to actually announce that I have a volleyball team. It's a woman's volleyball league called Women's Pro Volleyball and have a team in Omaha with my partner, Danny White, which which I couldn't be more excited about because volleyball is one of the sports that actually the women lead.

Right. You know, women, women get more viewership. People are coming to the women's games more than they come to the men's games. So when you play college volleyball in America, what's next for you is that you have to go overseas to play pro volleyball until now. Now we actually have a pro volleyball league.

And I'm so excited to be a small part of what these incredible women are doing. Sports ownership. Yeah.

For Jason Derulo. Yeah. Look at you. You must have some people you can.

I mean, Michael, I mean, you can reach out to a bunch of people for that sort of thoughts on on doing that. So Omaha, Nebraska, is where you're you're owning a team in this volleyball, professional volleyball league. Did you ever play volleyball yourself? I did play volleyball for a short stint. So, you know, when you play sports in high school, you know, there's a time period where there's just nothing going on. And then that's when all the athletes like go and play volleyball. But I had the time of my life playing volleyball. All three of my kids, 15, 12 and 10, the three individuals, Zander, Cooper and Taylor, with whom I'm getting huge daddy points for chatting with you and having you on the show.

They all played volleyball this past spring. Loved it. I loved watching it. I loved seeing it. I loved watching them succeed when they when they would serve and get a point.

Oh, my God. Like it was truly a remarkable moment. It's a fun sport to watch and it's a great team sport. Agreed.

Agreed, man. And when I played, you know, I thought I was I thought I was something. And then I went to go play with some girls in Omaha and I realized really quickly how how terrible I was. I was about to say they kicked your ass pretty much.

Yeah, they did. OK. Like really, really badly. And the sad part about it is they were really trying to like get me to like score and like do stuff. You know, they're like, Jason is here. So like, let's come on.

Like, you know, like show him a good time. But it was bad, man. It was pretty brutal. I was about to say the Kobe story.

This story probably messes with your mind quite a bit, I think, when it comes to this sort of thing. OK, fantastic. And do you have any professional sports teams that you follow or you're interested? I mean, I'm from Miami. So, you know, all of my Miami guys, you know, I'm, you know, rooting for my dolphins, you know, no matter what. In the heat, my guys did really well last season. That's true.

I mean, they make it all the time further than anybody expects. Is Jimmy Buckets a Jason Derulo fan? I've actually never met Jimmy Buckets, man. Which, yeah, we definitely got to change that because that's my guy. Like I root for that guy all the time. And, you know, I really don't like the way people talk about the heat when you have the floor.

Go for it. When people are talking about the heat, it's always like some like backhanded compliment is like, I can't believe they made it this far. Like, why can't you believe that? Like, we've done it over and over and over and over again. Like, how many times do we have to prove to you that we've, you know, like we're doing the work and we are supposed to be here? I think next year is our year.

The heat way, you know, I mean, Coach Spolstra and obviously Pat Riley and all those guys in the last two years. Legendary. I know they get there and unfortunately, they, you know, they run into somebody that that takes them out. But I hear you. But next year I'm going to be playing on the team. I came here to announce.

That's a lot of announcements. We're going to be on it. We're going to be on that hardwood. You know, I just want to come in and help my team. Well, you always have a place here. You're part of this team now, Jason. I appreciate you coming in here. Again, this book published on June 27th is out there for everybody to go follow.

Fifteen rules for living your dream are enclosed in sing your name out loud. Jason Derulo. At, of course, Jason Derulo on both Twitter and Instagram. What a pleasure to chat with you. Likewise. Come on anytime. Thank you very much.

Absolutely right here on the rich. What a story about Kobe Bryant. Here I felt like he taught me this, that, the other thing he just taught you.

Don't come at the king. Jason Derulo here on the Rich Eisen Show. There was a lot of great players on those teams that I was fortunate to be part of.

Search BLEAV podcasts wherever you listen. What a fun conversation that was right there. A couple more photographs from last night's Angels scoreboard factoids. Earlier we saw how, you know, some of the Giants have some interesting food choices.

This was a good one from Patrick Bailey, the catcher. Favorite snack is peanut butter or anything with peanut butter in it. Just anything or on it. Anything with anything or on it.

I'm with him. Celery and he put celery on. I just love that, that, that, that, that it's, it's a choice of the actual food stuff and then in it or on it. Peanut butter cup. I mean, I love peanut bread.

So good. The pretzels, the pretzels with in it. Last night, last night was a peanut butter sandwich. Is that right? Peanut butter is delicious.

That's an interesting factoid deep in the bag. Peanut butter and jelly. There's another one. Wilmer Flores. My guy.

This one right here. Has admitted to being on Team Ross and that he believes Ross and Rachel were on a break. I saw that last night, Rich. I'm also on Team Ross. I Instagrammed this one out saying that the Mets thought that about Flores once upon a time, if I'm not mistaken.

I didn't find your tweet funny, by the way. I thought they were on a break. I love that guy. Remember that one? Yeah.

He cried, man. And the Mets kept him. I love that. Then they weren't on a break. I thought we were on a break. Did he get traded in the middle of a game? Yes. Yeah.

And then, and that's right. I mean, he was told. I mean, they pulled him off the field, right? He was crying. And then something, I forget what happened. It was him and Zach Wheeler and Wheeler, I think flunked it or something. Wasn't it? I forget what happened. I just know the trade didn't go through.

And I thought the Mets were like, we thought we were on a break, but then, you know. Good. That's a good joke. Thank you. Good joke. I'm just working it.

I'm working it. Well, I had a baseball game with my toes. What did you guys eat last night? Oh, yeah. The nachos? The nachos. The nachos.

No. Back here on the Rich Eisen Show radio network, I'm sitting at the Rich Eisen Show desk furnished by Grainger with supplies and solutions for every industry. Grainger is the right product for you.

Call clickgrainger.com or just stop by. There was a guy at the Angels game last night eating a monster nachos. That's it. Helmet. Out of the helmet. Yeah. Like out of a helmet.

I said to Cooper, I'm like, turn around, man. The helmet nachos. By the way, it's not like a mini helmet.

No. It's a full helmet. It's like a legitimate helmet. Yeah.

The ice cream sundae is in the mini helmet. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. Talk about gluttony.

Do you really polish one of them off? No, I get the ice cream helmet sundae and the mini one, not the big nacho. I mean, the big nachos.

But that's your helmet's best. And that's for a group. That's for whoever you're with. No. This dude was eating himself. By himself? Alone? It's impressive.

Alone. That's also where it happens you can have the helmet as a souvenir, though. Right. So even if you don't finish it. Exactly.

And like I said, you go taking that bat with that thing when you're done eating it. And speaking of something else that I saw at the stadium last night, you just mentioned Jason Derulo just left here, and your impression of him was what? Jason Derulo. Was it? Smelled amazing. Okay. He's wearing a certain cologne.

It was fantastic. I don't know. It's possible, because he is a successful man and a two-way threat, a singer and now an author, perhaps he's wearing Otani's cologne, which was on the scoreboard multiple times last night. That's real?

That's real? Yes. Oh, hey.

It's Shohei Otani's cologne. Wow. I had no idea.

You want to talk about the stuff that they had up on the screen. It's nuts. The cat food.

I was like, dude, I took a photograph of that too. The what? There it is. Shuru. Shuru. The cat.

Japan's number one cat tree. This was on the scoreboard over and over and over again. Oh, man. I didn't notice that one.

Did you have more fun watching the game or taking a picture of the scoreboard? Well, no. I'm just taking in like, what is the scene for Otani here? It's nuts. And they are promoting his cologne.

I have no idea. I looked it up. What is his cologne? Kosay. And it's Kosay. It's not just a cologne. It's apparently a lifestyle choice. It's skincare and stuff too. There it is.

For body, mind, and spirit. How do we not know about this? I looked at it. Shohei Otani is more than a uniquely gifted baseball player. His passion for the game runs so deep, the joy he feels he shares with everyone around him.

And basically, his gift is like, I smell great. I pitch great. I run great. I hit great. I hit great. I smell great.

Or is it in a different order? You've got to smell good. To hit good.

Well, like Dion says, look good, feel good, play good, eat good. Exactly. It starts with the scent.

The scent of Otani. You know, he's single to start, then he stole a base. His 15th stolen base in game 114 set a record, broke Ken Griffey Jr.'s record last night for 40 home runs and 15 stolen bases in just 114 games, breaking Ken Griffey Jr.'s record for fastest in a season to 40 home runs and 15 stolen bases by three full games.

Wow. And he doubled as well. He doubled last night on a ball, I believe, just out of memory serves because I was too busy taking photographs of interesting facts on the scoreboard and his cologne and Japan's number one cat food.

Again, we're just going to have to take them at their word. I do believe the ball was hit to the right of the second baseman and he legged it out for a double. I'm watching it right now. It's a grounder up the middle. It was a 106 exit Vilo and turned it into a double 29 feet per second sprint speed. I have a photograph of him rounding first and going to second.

The reason why I have that photograph is because of the interesting factoid that was on the screen. The slam dunk Japanese sports manga series is his favorite comic. That's what's up there is he's doubling, is he's legging out an extra base hit and he scored the tying run and eventually, you know, the person who knocked him in, my buddy Mickey Moniac. Moniac.

Oh, is that right? I think Moniac is the one, no, Moniac is the one who, Renfro knocked him in. Moniac is the one who got the go ahead run for the Angels only. The top of the ninth. Top of the ninth. I mean, the Angels gave up sixth in the ninth.

They were up 3-2 and gave up sixth in the ninth and lost. So the bottom line is when it all comes down to it, just to give you a full on scope of going to an Angels game, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how potentially doesn't matter how many free pops of Shohei's cologne they're going to put up or the fact that they are promoting Japan's favorite cat food for cats.

I'm assuming humans notice. I also took a photograph of what looked like some sort of anime figure. The race that, you know, in the Yankees and Yankee Stadium is about the subways that race, you know, the dot races. It was Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man.

Pac-Man wins. There it goes. There's the photograph.

So there's, I mean, everything is geared towards not just Otani, but the Japanese fan that is coming to the game. Yeah. Okay. There it is.

Sand Land. Nice. Of the Banda Namco company that I think creates Ms. Pac-Man, and I do believe Dig Dug, I think as well. Dig Dug.

If you want to go back in the day. I believe. I might not be completely accurate here.

Well, just the fact that you brought it up. So what's totally accurate is this, it doesn't matter how much the Angels are catering to not only Otani's off-field cents and interests, and also the fans that are coming to the game, and then the dollars and cents that they're going to offer him, if they're going to keep on losing games. Seven in a row. Now eight behind the Blue Jays in the wild card race. And what did Phil Nevin told Susie last Friday, trout's taken dry swings this week.

Like he's got to take wet swings. We got to go. Like it's time. He needs to be back. You know?

And so that's what I was thinking. He was, he singled, he doubled, he stole a base. He smells good and he scores a run and the Angels look like they're going to finally break their six game losing streak and then give up six in the ninth. And if he's sitting there going, I see that they're, you know, they're selling my cologne and the fans who are at the stadium are bringing in dollars. And I'm bringing fans in 30 some odd thousand last night on a Monday night.

There were a lot of Giants fans there, but man. Otani on sneaky triple crown watch. Of course he is.

He's third in average, second in RBIs, and of course leads in home runs. And then there's this whole, you know, pitching stats. Come on.

But that's my coverage of Giants at Angels here on the Rich Eisen show. True professional. Thank you, sir.

I bring photos with me. Not just a food, not a food. How about that? Oh, wait a minute. Cat food.

My bad. Cat treat. Oh, my gosh. For over three decades, nobody has had a wrestling career like Arne Anderson.
